“Our guide arrived on time and was friendly and engaging throughout the tour. She was very knowledgeable about the Harry Potter universe and impressed us by mimicking the voices of some of the movie characters. The house cup point system was a fun and interactive element that added to the experience. To help manage expectations, the tour is very fast-paced.

See London’s Changing of the Guard with a guide who knows the best viewing spots, royal landmarks, crowd tactics, and ceremony limits.
“Our local guide Angi was very knowledgeable and pleasant. This walking tour is at higher pace so anyone with issues I would not recommend this one. For anyone that can walk distances this is a wonderful tour. We started in Picadilly Circus just across from the underground station and ended up at Buckingham palace. With this tour our guide took us to places away from the crowds for the best view of the guards walking by. This tour does not take you to right in front of Buckingham Palace which is way too crowded.”
